Andrej Sekera News

The Oilers have activated Andrej Sekera from IR.

Sekera appears set to make his season debut on Tuesday after being recalled from his conditioning stint and being activated from IR on Monday. Sekera is skating with Matt Benning on the third pairing in the morning skate.

The Oilers have recalled Andrej Sekera from Bakersfield (AHL).

Sekera appears ready to make his NHL season debut after registering two assists in five games during his conditioning stint in Bakersfield. The 32-year-old defenseman has missed the first four and a half months of the season with an Achilles injury and is coming off of a season in which he appeared in just 36 games—registering eight assists and a minus-15 rating.

Sekera (upper-body) is questionable for Saturday.

Sekera had to leave Friday’s game in Anaheim after playing just 3:30 TOI. He was forced to leave after taking a puck up high and is questionable for Saturday’s game in San Jose. If he can’t play, expect Yohann Auvitu to replace him on the blueline.

Sekera will be back in the Oilers lineup on Tuesday.

Sekera was a healthy scratch in the second game of the Oilers’ back-to-back over the weekend, but will be back in tonight in Nashville. Sekera has picked up just one assist while averaging 18:15 TOI/GM since returning to the Oilers lineup in late-December.

Sekera (hand) will play Friday in Washington.

Sekera (illness) is expected to return to the Oilers’ lineup on Tuesday.

Sekera has missed the last two games with an illness, but is expected to return to the lineup tonight in Columbus. Sekera has had a nice season, collecting four goals and 13 assists (17 points) in 36 games. Expect him to draw back into the lineup on the second pair with Kris Russell.

The Oilers have inked Andrej Sekera to a six-year $33M.

Sekera is expected to make his Kings debut on Friday.

Sekera was on the ice for the Kings optional morning skate, but the optional made it difficult to decipher whether or not he will play. However, you don’t trade for a player to sit him in the press box, so expect him to replace Jamie McBain in the lineup tonight.

Sekera is not on the ice for warmups; will not make his Kings debut.

Sekera will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

Sekera passed his physical and has been cleared to play tonight, so it is up to coach Darryl Sutter to decide whether or not Sekera will be in the lineup tonight. It seems likely that he will play, but monitor his status during pre-game warmups.

The Kings have acquired Andrej Sekera from the Hurricanes for a 2015 1st round pick and prospect Roland McKeown

Sekera is a pending unrestricted free agent, but definitely bolsters the Kings blue line in the short term. Defence was not a huge need for the Kings until Slava Voynov ran into trouble with the law. Sekera is a strong puck-moving defenseman, who brings a solid amount of offence to the table. He has 19 points (2G / 17A) in 57 games this season.

Sekera (undisclosed) will play on Sunday.

Sekera missed Thursday’s game with an undisclosed injury, but he will be back in the lineup this afternoon vs. the Red Wings. Sekera will replace Jay Harrison in the lineup. He has eight assists in 23 games this season.

Sekera (undisclosed) will not play on Thursday.

Sekera missed practice on Wednesday and today’s morning skate. Head coach Bill Peters said that Sekera is “real close, but now 100%,” so he will sit tonight. The Hurricanes are hoping to have Sekera back by Sunday vs. Detroit.
